Tossed around at the city gate for a while, until it was dark, Fang Mu and the others finally entered the county seat.

"Uncle Laifu, why was that officer so polite to me just now."

Wang Yuzhou asked Laifu next to him.

"It stands to reason that he is just the son of a rich man in the countryside, and even if he has a little money, he will not let an officer be so polite? Since ancient times, the name does not fight with the rich, the rich do not fight with the official, and his own identity will never let an officer be treated like this"

Wang Yuzhou thought in his heart.

On the other hand, Laifu's face on the side changed strangely.

"Young master, maybe that officer wants to befriend you," Laifu yawned and perfunctory Fang Mu.

When Fang Mu wanted to ask Laifu something, Laifu had already walked forward.

Fang Mu had to scratch his head suspiciously

"Young master, this is our Fang family's house in the county seat"

Rifle said, pointing to a medium-sized house in front of him.

Fang Mu looked up, the house is not big, compared to the Fang family, the residence of Baozhuang is much smaller, maybe it is in the county seat, no matter how big it is, it can't be bigger than the county lord's residence!

Laifu pushed the door in, and Fang Mu and the rest of the family also followed.

Inside the house, very clean.

It is rare to see a single fallen leaf on the ground of bluestone.

Apparently someone comes in and cleans up regularly.

There was no one in the house, and the cleaners had already gone back, and besides, it was already night, and there was no need to come at night to clean.

Walking into the front porch, Fang Mu sat directly on a stone bench facing the door, and the rest of the family members also rested on the spot.

Laifu also chose a stone bench next to Fang Mu and sat down.

"Young master, the Fang family's factory is located in the western suburbs of Lexian County, it's getting late now, let's go again tomorrow?"

Laifu asked Fang Mu.

After a day's journey, Fang Mu's body was also tired, and he nodded in agreement with Laifu's attention.

"Uncle Laifu, can you tell me about our Fang family's factory, I want to have a general understanding in advance, so as not to have any foreign appearance tomorrow."

Fang Muhan said to Laifu with a smile.

Seeing that Fang Mu had become so organized, Laifu smiled with relief.

"Young master, our Fang family's factories are the three largest factories in Lexian County, covering an area of 1,000 acres, and the rest are either small factories or small workshops, how dare you compete with our Fang family."

After a pause, Rifle said again.

"In addition to the 800 family members and maids in our Fang family, there are more than 1,000 workers in the factory, and every year, these workers will bring more than 200,000 taels of silver to our Fang family.

"The master also recruited a mechanical engineer from Germany to maintain the operation of the machinery in our factory, but the salary is also expensive, and the silver given to the German engineer every month is 1,000 taels."

Fang Mu heard Laifu say that there were foreign engineers in the Fang family's factory, which was still from Germany. I was also surprised.

The rigor of the Germanic people, Fang Mu had heard of it.

After the defeat in World War I, Germany was in dire straits, economically backward, and almost one of the poorest countries in the world.

However, in less than twenty years, it was developed by a madman who was even stronger than the Hohenzollern dynasty led by Wilhelm II, and the war waged by that madman spread all over the world.

Although many people died in this war, it also changed the pattern of the world, so that the former British Empire completely fell from the position of the world leader, and then British colonies overseas became independent one after another.

By the 50s of the 20th century, even the brightest jewel on the head of the Queen of England, India, became independent.

India's independence was undoubtedly the last grass that crushed the camel's back, causing Britain to fall from the world's maritime power to a second-rate country in one fell swoop.

If it hadn't been for that war that broke the original world pattern, otherwise, China in later generations would not know how many years it would have been before it would have been able to become independent, and the power of the great powers would not have known how long it would have been before they could withdraw from China!

For this country dominated by Germanic people, Fang Mu still admires it very much."

Fang Mu has a strong interest in inspecting the factory tomorrow.

I saw Laifu leaning over, and said mysteriously to Fang Mu.

"Young master, the master's 1,000 Mauser 1888 style was also obtained by this German, this German is very mysterious, but the master ordered not to investigate him, so I don't know his specific information."

Fang Mu heard Laifu say this. The interest in my heart is even stronger.

"Uncle Laifu, what's the name of that German"?

Fang Mu asked Laifu

"The German man's name is Levan and he is said to be from Munich, Germany."

Raffle thought for a moment and replied.

"Hmm" Fang Mu pondered for a moment, but didn't ask Laifu anything more

However, Fang Mu's heart was shocked.

"Who is this German, and what is he doing in our Fang family's factory? Is he really just a mechanical engineer"?

Fang Mu's mind was a mess of cotton wool.

"Forget it, no matter, you'll know when you see someone tomorrow."

Fang Mu gave up his mental speculation about this mysterious German

Just when Laifu asked Fang Mu to rest, there was a knock on the door of the house.

"Knock knock!!

Fang Mu and the others all looked sideways at the gate.

"Huzi, go open the door". Fang Mu instructed Huzi.

Huzi answered and walked quickly to the door.

"Who is it?" Huzi asked the outsiders.

"From the county yamen, look for Master Mu." A male voice outside the door replied.

"What are the county yamen looking for me to do?"

Obviously, Fang Mu also heard the sound of talking outside the door, frowning and thinking.

Laifu showed a helpless expression on his face.

"Huzi, open the door," Fang Mu said to Huzi who was standing there at the door shaft.

After Huzi opened the door, what caught his eye was a master of the yamen wearing a Qing Dynasty horse coat and official mansion.

"What are you looking for me"? Fang Mu was very strange that the people from the yamen came to him, and asked.

"Are you Young Master Mu"? I saw that the person dressed as a master looked at Fang Mu with an inquiring expression.

"I am, what's the matter, you can say it now," Fang Mu replied.

The person dressed as the master immediately showed a flattering expression on his face as soon as he heard Fang Mu's answer.

"Young Master Mu, hello, I was ordered by your uncle to take you to his mansion."

"What uncle". When Fang Mu heard this, he immediately questioned.

"That is, your second father," the person in front of him said as a matter of course.

When Fang Mu heard this, he immediately became angry and scolded

"What about your second father, for no reason, he said what my father did."

After scolding, I wanted to go up and give this master a kick.

But!! was pulled by the rifle next to him.

Laifu leaned over and put his head into Fang Mu's ear and whispered.

"It's really your second father
